Question
![Suppose we examine the case where we measure random variable force, assume for the moment
that 20 measurements of force have been made as shown in table below. For the data in the table
and Student's t distribution table at 95% probability, (1) determine the sample mean value, standard
deviation and standard deviation of the means of these data. Estimate the (i) interval and (ii) true
values of the measurand at 95% probability based on this finite data set.

The executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine the mean shopping time, u, of customers at the supermarkets. The consultant will collect a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets and use the mean of these shopping times to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of the population of shopping times at the supermarkets is 27 minutes, what is the minimum sample size she must collect in order for her to be 99% confident that her estimate is within 5 minutes of u? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).

When its tennis balls are dropped onto a concrete surface from a height of 100 inches, the company wants the mean height the balls bounce upward to be 54.7 inches. This average is maintained by periodically testing random samples of 25 tennis balls. If the t-value falls between - to 99 and to 99, then the company will be satisfied that it is manufacturing acceptable tennis balls. A sample of 25 balls is randomly selected and tested. The mean bounce height of the sample is 56.7 inches and the standard deviation is 0.25 inch. Assume the bounce heights are approximately normally distributed. Is the company making acceptable tennis balls? Find -to 99 and to.99- - to.99 = to.99 = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
